F=m+a i think that might be it im not so sure about it, just seeing if i could help you out.

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

$F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)$

The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

$F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N (2)$

According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2 (3)$

Why does conduction occur in solids?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

b. "One thing for sure is that they were UFOs and they had to be piloted by some type of intelligent life."

Explanation:

Well...generally the above observation may seem wrong but it isn't. That's because according to scientific point of view, if he saw a real UFO flying out in the air then it is logically possible that some being of an advance civilization must be piloting that craft. If the observation is correct then it can't just be a coincidence at all.

Plz help me it’s a true or false question A shorter wire will allow electricity to

mr Goodwill [35]

-- A shorter wire will allow electricity to move through at a higher rate than a longer wire . . . True, but "rate" is a poor way to say it. It should say "a higher current".

-- A short, thick, cold wire is the best conductor . . . True

-- How well a material conducts current is an internal factor affecting resistance . . . True

-- If you double the length of a wire, you cut the resistance in half . . . False. Double the length also means double the resistance.

-- If you double the thickness of a wire, you cut the resistance in half . . . True

-- Superconductors have no measurable resistance . . . True. They literally have NO resistance.

-- The higher the temperature of the conductor, the lower the resistance . . . False. Higher temperature means higher resistance, for almost all conductors.

-- The resistance in a wire with less thickness is less . . . False. We just said, up above in Question-#5, "If you double the thickness of a wire, you cut the resistance in half". Less thickness means more resistance. Just like a highway with fewer lanes.

-- Thickness, length, and temperature are internal factors that affect resistance . . . False. They affect resistance, but they're external factors.

-- When a light is first switched on the light bulb's filament has a lower resistance than after it gives off light for awhile . . . True. Look back 3 questions from here, where it says "Higher temperature means higher resistance".
